Roxanne’s character was brutally killed off in 2008 when she was strangled to death by her fiancé Warren Fox (Jamie Lomas) on their wedding day.
It happened after discovering he had murdered her estranged husband Sean Kennedy (Matthew Jay Lewis).
Her body was later placed in a hotel room and set alight to cover his tracks.
Roxanne told Digital Spy at the time of her exit: ‘I have enjoyed my time at Hollyoaks immensely and I’m going to really miss everyone at Lime Pictures.
‘I have learned so much and will take away with me many happy memories – not just from everyone I have worked with but from Liverpool as a city too, which has become my second home.
‘I know I will shed a few tears on the day I leave but I am so excited about what the future holds.’
After leaving Hollyoaks, Roxanne played Lou Foster in BBC Three’s Lip Service, Doreah in the smash-hit HBO fantasy epic Game of Thrones, and Lady Claire Riesen in Syfy’s apocalyptic supernatural drama Dominion.
She’s also appeared in horror sequel Wrong Turn 5: Bloodlines, action thriller Vendetta, and blockbuster fantasy The Legend of Hercules.

More recently, Roxanne appeared in the thriller The Admirer and in 2025 appeared as Xana in the gory reimagining Bambi: The Reckoning.
On her social media she often shares her passion for rock climbing and fitness.
Roxanne previously shared her hopes to return to Hollyoaks: ‘Well, Louise might not be dead! That’s the exciting twist in the future…
‘On screen, you’ll feel like she’s dead, but depending on me and whether I want to come back for an episode, I might be back. I filmed an extra scene showing that I’m still alive.
‘There are flashbacks which show me being killed, but then there’s a flashback which viewers won’t see for a while, that will be used if I choose to come back for the episode.
‘I kind of want to come back and finish off Louise’s storyline, but at the moment, I might be doing something else.
‘It would be really good, though — I’d be going back to kill a few people off.’
